  I lived at The Shay for a year. As with any other apartment complex in Nashville, there are several pros and cons. Pros: -great location, OneCity always felt safe to me -excellent management and maintenance teams -somewhat walkable area -nice amenities Cons: -we think that our apartment had mold, and while maintenance did look into it, I felt that it was brushed off and not taken too seriously -parking out front for guests/rideshare was almost nonexistent, as certain residents felt privileged enough to park there every single day instead of using the included parking garage (easily the biggest daily pet peeve of living here) -landscaping and property upkeep happens what felt like every single day in peak months which led to obstructed walking paths Overall, I would recommend The Shay. The management team here is incredible and will make sure your needs are met to the best of their ability.

  I toured The Shay after seeing several positive reviews. The tour itself was professional and well conducted. However, I ultimately chose not to apply due to their income verification requirements. As a self-employed applicant, I asked whether a combination of verified business deposits and substantial liquid assets could be used to qualify. I was informed that instead of meeting the typical annual income requirement of $67,000 (earning roughly 2.5–3x the monthly rent), I would need to maintain an average bank balance of approximately $67,000 over six months in order to qualify. That standard felt unusually rigid and not well suited for self-employed individuals, even those with strong assets and credit. If you are not a traditional W-2 employee, this may not be the best place to apply.

  The Shay has been such a great place to live. The maintenance team is always on top of things when we need it, especially Craig Moore.

  Craig Moore is our hero! He also shows up quickly and with a smile. He’s the backbone of the Shay!!
